Hey Look! I'm back! But only briefly... today is my first day out of the field since arriving in Albera almost a month ago, and I'm only here in Calgary to pick up a colleague who's flying in to join me in the next phase on my field work. So, I just have time for a few quick posts.

First up, the t-shirt design (thanks to Mark Schultz) for this year's SADRG field season. I should have a few left when the season is over and I'll let you readers know how to snap these up when they become available.

As part of my work this year with the SADRG I opened a dinosaur bone bed with David Evans in the lower part of the Oldman Formation in the badlands along the Milk River in the the southeasternmost part of Alberta. The site was very productve and I plan to return in 2007 for a larger excavation of the quarry. The bone layer is at waist level of the crew in the above photo.
